Barcelona clinched the Spanish Super Cup with a 3-2 win over Real Madrid last weekend. Now, the Spanish club is looking to tie down a key player.
Marcus Rashford arrived from Manchester United on a one-year loan deal last summer. A Manchester native, Rashford had spent his entire professional career with the Red Devils but had fallen out of favor at Old Trafford.
Since the move to Barcelona he has looked reborn, contributing seven goals and 11 assists for Hansi Flick’s side. Rashford has not been a first-choice for Barcelona but is capable of filling in at various attacking positions, making him a valuable rotation piece.
The loan deal agreed between Manchester United and Barcelona last summer includes a €30 million ($34.9M) release clause. However Barcelona, still in a difficult financial position, are looking to reduce the up-front cost.
Barcelona balk at Rashford transfer fee
In recent years Barcelona have been walking a financial tightrope, struggling to register players while keeping within the league’s regulations. That situation is making the Rashford deal difficult.
TalkSport in England reports that Barcelona have opened up talks with United about a permanent deal. They are eager to keep Rashford and the player wants to stay at Camp Nou.
To avoid paying the €30m this summer, Barcelona may propose another one-year loan with an obligation to buy Rashford the following year. They would likely still pay the agreed €30m but would have an extra 12 months to free up accounting space.
Alternatively, Barcelona may push for a reduced transfer fee this summer. The €30M fee represents a relative bargain for a player of Rashford’s quality, but his exorbitant salary complicates matters for potential suitors. For United too, they may decide to sell Rashford in a cut-price deal to avoid being struck paying his wages for the remaining two years of his deal.

hahahaha... I knew it from the start, Barcelona had wanted to short Man United since this whole Rashford thing started. Unfortunately for United, all the chips with Barca and Rashford

Rashford can never be a raphinha successor, he’s through definition of inconsistent player, not good with one on one dribble, had it been real madrid equalize at that die minutes he’ll be the cost of that game, he have a several clear chances to score but he misses. Those kind of misses are unforgivable during UCL more especially from round of 16 upwards. If roony is given opportunity as rashford he will be far better and out score him because he’s good in pressing and contribute more offensively than him. Ferran, Lewa, Raphinha and Yamal are all behind him with goals before they get back from injuries, however they all passed him now in the pecking order even though he has the most game time among them all.
Buy him first then we can talk about this issue

Rashy is way more classy than fati
what I meant was ,new striker and fati salary would make it difficult for barca to adjust rashford wages.

30m , in 35 barca can get proper winger fofana from lyon. 😄once barca signs a striker and fati returns from loan , we won't see rashy at left wing.

They want create some kinda negative perception in the minds of Man Utd, that he is not too relevant to their course.
